[NYPOST] Lawmakers took a step last week towards taking back the nation’s highest award for valor from Army troops who perpetrated one of the most infamous Native American massacres in U.S. history.The legislation to revoke the medals passed the House of Representatives as an amendment to the fiscal 2023 defense policy bill. Similar attempts have made it this far before, however, only to be stymied during compromises between the House and Senate versions of the bill. That was one hundred thirty two years ago. All participants are equally dead. Will my Good Conduct medal be rescinded by Congress 132 years after I'm gone?
Some 20 soldiers received the Medal of Honor following the Dec. 29, 1890, massacre near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, where troops from the 7th Cavalry and accompanying artillery units killed hundreds of Lakota men, women and kiddies.
The U.S. troops had nearly completed confiscating weapons from a Lakota encampment when a struggle with a reportedly deaf man sparked a chaotic one-sided firefight.
When the smoke cleared, dozens of cavalry troopers were maimed or killed by friendly fire — likely from their artillery — and hundreds of Lakota were dead.
Rep. Kaialiʻi Kahele, D-Hawaii, was the legislation’s primary sponsor, though other members of Congress, like Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... , D-Mass., and Rep. Reuben Gallego, D-Ariz., have pushed for similar legislation in the past. Kahele is a Native Hawaiian.

Is this what we really pay these worthless foks in Washington to do? Is it really ?
Stuck on separation and the victimization of the past while remaining oblivious to the opportunities of the future.

As a kid we played sand lot football and one of of the kids was American Indian. One or two kids could not tackle him. It took at least three kids to bring down, otherwise he dragged everyone hanging on to him across the goal line.
Pre-World War I Army Medals
The only medal that the War Department officially awarded during the Civil War, Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, and Philippine Insurrection was the Medal of Honor.
However, between 1905 and 1919, the War Department authorized several campaign medals for U.S. Army service between 1861 and 1902.
The National Archives Building in Washington, DC (Archives 1), houses correspondence related to pre-World War I recipients of the Medal of Honor and recipients of Army campaign medals.

Were the soldiers valorous? Perhaps their commanders should be dishonored, starting with their commander in chief (oops! chief). That'd be Benjamin Harrison - (double-plus ungood!) - a Republican!

The Medal of Honor in those days is not the same as it is today. As NoMoreBs pointed out, they did not have all the medals today, so people got the MOH for things that today would not even rate a Bronze Star. IIRC, everybody in one unit in the Civil War got the MOH simply for extending their enlistment.
Today, the MOH really means something. Look at Wikipedia and read the stories of MOH recipients, especially from WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, and later.
Of course Richard Byrd got the MOH just for his travels in Antarctica.

Okay, but we should take back JFK's as well. Since actions other than what they were gotten for matter, then it should matter for everyone right?

What a lovely thought, Aca Joe. The easiest way to start would be to shut down entire departments, like education and energy, but that requires an act of Congress. So does the removal of union protections. It can’t be done just by executive order.
[NYPOST] CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... ’s new boss Chris Licht is allegedly in "secret talks" to poach MSNBC mainstays Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, according to a report on Wednesday.
Licht, a longtime TV boss who previously served as executive producer on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" and "CBS This Morning," is interested in hiring Scarborough and Brzezinski while leading an overhaul at CNN, RadarOnline.com reported, citing unnamed sources.
"When CBS hired Chris, he wanted to hire Joe and Mika to head up his morning show instead of Gayle King," one unidentified source told the outlet.
"Joe and Mika were into it, but they couldn’t get out of their deal with NBC. Now Chris is pulling the same trick again as he starts his new job at CNN hoping this time, he will be able to pull it off," according to the source.
"It is unlikely MSNBC will let them out of their contract, but Chris is a patient man," the source added.
The Post could not independently verify the report’s claims. CNN and MSNBC representatives did not immediately return a request for comment.

[IsraelTimes] Probe finds Corbynites believed allegations of antisemitism were designed to attack ex-party chair, while right faction saw the issue as a means to attack the left-wing leader.
Antisemitism was weaponized by both the right and left factions of the Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, according to a leaked report published in British media on Tuesday.
The 138-page report by Queen’s Counsel Martin Forde found deep distrust and factional differences distracted the two sides of the party, impeding their ability to deal with antisemitism in their ranks and build effective election campaigns, the Guardian reported.
Forde charged that Corbyn supporters believed accusations of antisemitism to be exaggerated, while opponents of the former leader viewed the problem "as a means of attacking him."
"Thus, rather than confront the paramount need to deal with the profoundly serious issue of antisemitism in the party, both factions treated it as a factional weapon," Forde concluded.
UK Labour chair Keir Starmer, who succeeded Corbyn, requested the investigation in April 2020, after a leaked 860-page report concluded that no current or former staff were "motivated by anti-Semitic intent" and was said to have found "no evidence" of antisemitism complaints being treated differently from other forms of complaint.
The 2020 probe said there was a lack of "robust processes, systems, training, education, and effective line management" and claimed to have found "abundant evidence of a hyper-factional atmosphere prevailing in Party HQ" toward Corbyn, which "affected the expeditious and resolute handling of disciplinary complaints."
However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... Forde’s report argued that the issue was also present in the former opposition leader’s office, as supporters believed allegations of antisemitism were designed "simply as an attack on the leader and his faction."
"In simple terms, each faction believed the other had ’started it’ when it came to obstructionist behaviour and that they were only responding in kind," it said.
Corbyn didn’t acknowledge his supporters’ role in the party’s failings in response to Forde’s probe, instead noting in an online statement that "powerful groups" in Labour found it "hard to come to terms" with his election to head the party, and decried the "racism and sexism" faced by members of the party.
Addressing the report, a Labour spokesperson said Forde’s findings detailed "a party that was out of control" and that "real progress" had been made since Starmer was elected leader.
The leaked report received a lukewarm response from Board of Deputies of British Jews President Marie van der Zyl, who cited the report’s dismay that Jewish Voice for Labour had not been picked to enlighten the party on antisemitism.
While acknowledging the "marked improvement" in Labour’s attitude to antisemitism under Starmer, Zyl said: "We are troubled by the authors’ later expression that they are ’disappointed’ that ’Jewish Voice for Labour’ — an extreme fringe far-left organization that has obsessively denied antisemitism within the Labour Party — has not been granted a role in educating Labour members on antisemitism."
Corbyn vowed to punish any party member caught making racist statements during his time as leader, yet he defended a number of members who made vitriolic antisemitic remarks and expelled hardly any members despite more than 850 formal complaints.
Corbyn himself drew vast criticism for his own actions. In 2019, he expressed regret for having defended a 2012 antisemitic mural in London’s East End. The mural, named Freedom of Humanity, was painted on a property near Brick Lane by the Los Angeles-based graffiti artist Kalen Ockerman. It depicted a group of men — seemingly caricatures of Jewish bankers and businessmen — counting their money on a Monopoly board balanced on the backs of naked workers.
Also in 2019, he was found to have authored a glowing foreword to a book that claims that Jews control global financial systems and describes them as "men of a single and peculiar race."
In addition, the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group has thanked Corbyn for his solidarity in recognizing Paleostinian mourning over the 71st anniversary of the formation of the State of Israel.
The now-former Labour leader has in the past been criticized for calling terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah "friends" when inviting members for a parliamentary meeting in 2009. He later downplayed the comment and said he regretted using the term.
Three years ago it emerged that in 2014 Corbyn attended a ceremony that honored the Lions of Islam behind the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre. He later said, "I was present when [a wreath] was laid, I don’t think I was actually involved in it."
[PJMedia] Former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris says Hillary will run again in 2024.
I think I speak for everyone here at PJ Media when I say NOOOOOOOOO! in one of those blood-curdling hollers that shake the stucco off all the houses in the neighborhood.
Writing for NewsMax, Morris argues that the Democrat Party’s leftward lurch will draw in Clinton as the only “moderate” who can stop bête noir Donald Trump from winning a belated second term.
He’s serious, you guys:
As leftist candidates emerge as front-runners in the Democratic primary, pressure will grow on Hillary Clinton to enter the race. Much like Biden’s surprise entrance in 2020, Democrats will see her as their savior, an experienced politician able to bridge the left and more moderate wings of the party.
Morris noted, as various PJ Media writers also have, that “Democrats and big media like The New York Times know that Biden can’t run again in 2024.”

Grifters gotta grift. If she doesn't look like a player, there are small people with BIG debts to be settled against those two mopes. Having bigtime juice has kept them insulated, but once they are just difting towards the big dirtnap, there are scores to settle. Not violence, but reputation, crimes, lies, and massive web of government corruption to be revealed.
That applies to both Hillary! and the semi-aptly named Dick Morris. I've often wondered how guys like Morris earn a living so far off of their political successes, which are few in his case. Must be the permanent DC circle-jerk thing without CNN's Toobin doing the short stroke.
Your welcome for that visual. I'm still 1/2 hour away from eating dinner, so I'm good...

In 2016 I swore I would crawl the 2 miles to my polling place over broken glass if necessary to vote AGAINST Hillary.
If she runs again, I'll do the same thing.

[NYPOST] Gov. Kathy Hochul is going first-class in her run to remain New York governor. A Post analysis shows she flew aboard state-owned planes and helicopters a whopping 140 times between August 2021 and March 2022.
Hochul’s taxpayer-funded flights cost upward of $170,000 and more as the frequency of her air travel has increased and the cost of jet fuel has soared.
One flight aboard the State Police-operated Sikorsky 76D chopper and the Beechcraft King Air plane costs taxpayers about $2,500 and $1,300 per hour, respectively. And one of her "official" flights included a roundtrip to see the Buffalo Bills home opener last September.
In more ways than one, this gov is copying her disgraced predecessor, Andrew Sonny Cuomo, who also accumulated questionable frequent-flyer miles on state-owned aircraft.
Her exploitation of her office has been shameless. New Yorkers struggle to fill their gas tanks, while our high-flying governor travels above it all at their expense — for trips that have helped her raise tens of millions from favor-seekers and lobbyists.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months.
'Look, the border is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Tuesday.
But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border more secure.'
'That has been a historic challenge,' Mayorkas said, adding that there is a difference between the words 'safe' and 'secure.'
But insistence that the border is secure comes amid a prevailing rise in crossings as well as complaints from New York City and Washington, D.C. that the crisis is finally hitting home after Arizona and Texas starting busing migrants to the city hubs to deal with them.

What's really scary is that MSM will not challenge him, will suppress all the evidence that shows this is a lie. So a lot of people will believe him.

[PJMedia] A day after scrambling to backtrack on Joe Biden’s erroneous claim that he has cancer, the White House has announced that Biden has tested positive for COVID-19.
“This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Thursday morning. “He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms.”
In July 2021, Biden falsely claimed, “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” In January 2022, he claimed COVID was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.:
At 79 years old, Joe Biden is in a high-risk group.
Jean-Pierre reports that Biden is taking Paxlovid and is isolating at the White House, consistent with CDC guidelines. He will “continue to work in isolation until he tests negative,” and will return to work in person once he has a negative test.
The White House will provide a daily update on Biden’s status.
June 30, 2022 – Fauci, the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, said Tuesday that he went through a “Paxlovid rebound” that can occur after taking the antiviral to recover from COVID-19.
The symptoms that he had after he completed the treatment were more severe than those he had at first from the coronavirus, he said.
Fauci then began a second course of Paxlovid when symptoms returned, which were “much worse than the first go-around,” he said.
He later said that Paxlovid kept him out of the hospital and stopped his infection from becoming more severe when he first tested positive on June 15.Web MD
So Paxlovid does what the vaccine is supposed to do? How interesting, Dr. Fauci!

Somehow I doubt the Demonrats would allow her to be president very long. -SOMETHING- would happen and she would resign or be removed or be found in Fort Marcy Park (Not calling for it, just speculating) but I really don't think it would last.
Especially as rumors say Hillary is going to run again.
[Red State] Joe Biden just dropped the biggest bombshell in presidential history. Either that or he dropped the biggest gaffe. It’s probably the latter, as we’ll discuss, but I’m not sure that makes things any better.
While speaking in Massachusetts on Wednesday, the president claimed to have "cancer," citing supposed oil slicks on the windows of cars. Apparently, being exposed to oil residue as a child gives you cancer later in life? I don’t know. None of what he says in the following clip makes sense, and it’s best to just take it for what it is.

White House press official on Twitter suggested that Biden was referring to a previous doctor’s report saying he had non-melanoma skin cancers removed.
